Overall happier team members

ATHENS OF THE SOUTH

A snapshot of Nashville's continuum of education

The biggest reason for such a high turnover was that new hires “felt a lack of connection when they were first hired.”

In a multi-day, immersive format, participants discover what makes the region unique, Nashville’s history, the region’s economy, the inner workings of our public and private sectors and the “it” in the “It city,” all while establishing new relationships with local business and community leaders.

MAKE YOUR TEAM FEEL AT HOME.

Companies often fund tuition from continuing education or professional development budgets.
